Forty years ago, today, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in mid air after being launched, killing all 7 crew members; one was a school teacher. It was a sad day for space travel & history. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

The Challenger shuttle disaster that killed 7 crew members was 40 years ago. What happened and how they're being remembered.

The diverse 7-member crew included a teacher who was going to teach lessons from space.

When someone tells you children’s programming in their day was nonpolitical, they are really saying they weren’t a very bright child.

ICE is lurking around Albany elementary schools. That they are allowed anywhere near schools is ridiculous. There’s no reason why they need to be walking the same halls a babies. None.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.

Just a reminder that research from social scientists and historians for years has shown that the modern conservative movement can be largely traced to racial integration. See Kevin Kruse’s book “White Flight” for one of the best example of this work. @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

The top 15 billionaires got $1T richer in 2025. Remember the all the handwringing that stimulus checks were too generous and ruined the economy? If we’d sent that $1T to households instead, total stimulus would’ve exceeded all 3 pandemic check rounds combined. How is this the responsible option?

Dude, why choose to hate on our moment of joy? Yes it's meaningless, but also - we're the ones who won! The last time the Knicks won an NBA title (had to double check) was over a decade before I was born. Who do you root for anyway?
